DRIFTERS: Loot the Galaxy

Blind Squirrel Games decided that on top of co-developing and working for hire helping other studios with their projects, they wanted to open a new vertical for Original IP development. The idea for DRIFTERS was born and I was brought in to lead the UIX department for both Original and Licensed IPs.

DRIFTERS is a 5v5 3rd-person Arena Shooter where, on top of shooting down the members of the opposing team, you need to plunder the random loot appearing around the level and build your riches for your team and game.

A dynamic mix of comic-book and stylized art, punk-rock, and retro-futuristic VCR motives gave me all I needed to go crazy and have fun with the UIX direction and help the art direction for the game reach new levels.
